Acknowledgements

I figure I should make it known what software and libraries I'm using.

For a developing environment I'm using Bloodshed Dev-C++. I've been using it for oh, six or seven years. It's simple and direct and does what I need it to do. It may not have bells and whistles like, say, Eclipse, but I'm ok with that. In fact, I'm more than ok with that.

As for libraries, I'm using the all-encompassing SDL. I've been using SDL even longer than Dev-C++. My SDL use dates back to my sophomore year of college (2001!) when I needed to find some open libraries for drawing in linux. It takes care of the graphics, the audio, the input and event handling, as well as network interfacing. It serves as a bit of a wrapper for OpenGL, and it is only through SDL that I've ever used OpenGL (screw wgl; multi-platform code ftw!).

That's all I really have to say on the matter. So... short post.
